72)1: --The End of the Tokugawa Era2: Suginami - Oume Highway3: I'm sorryyyy4: er, I mean, excuse me!5: You idiot, what the hell are you saying?! Be careful!

73)1: That was a close one...the girls of Edo are just so seductive, I....2: forgot to look in front of myself...3: Getting caught up in what's close to me and losing sight is what leads to failure.4: Just like sensei said, I need too look farther away...at the big picture.5: Looking only at what is close to oneself will never allow one to see a beautiful view.6: What we need to think about is how Japan should be 10, no 50, and 100 years from now! The Meiji Restoration is no more than a stage of preparations for that.7: If you want to climb high and see a beautiful view, you must first drench yourself in sweat and mud.

74)1: Which means that even that a strong will capable of committing the most hideous, barbaric acts is even necessary for this restoration to happen! 2(2b): So Toudou-sensei's approving even terrorism here...? Does ol' Shouzaburou here really have the guts to do such a thing?3: Shouzaburou was born as the third son of a poor, lower-class samurai. Therefore, in order to reduce the mouths that needed feeding,4: he went to Edo and became a live-in worker and student for Toudou-sensei, who was both a Western and a military scholar. 5: Please, Shouzaburou-kun!6: Take this to my sworn ally Yamanouchi-sensei by evening!7: Eh? Me...?8(2b): Yes. My senior apprentice Yoichi-kun has syphilis...so I'm asking you this time.

75)1: If it doesn't get there by that time...2: something horrible will happen to you.3: Yes, sir!4: Shou-chan!5: That's amazing!6: Sensei entrusted you with such an important job?!7: Ummm8: In English, they call this "PRESSURE"...9: You'll be fine, Shou-chan, I know you can do it! For sure!!10: That's just my opinion, though!!!11: Hana-chan was a servant who took care of the sensei, but also had concern for Shouzaburou.

76)1: Yamanouchi-sensei is Toudou-sensei's sworn ally...2: They must be in the middle of some important discussion planning to achieve something great, so he's gotten agitated...3: Shouzaburou felt that in her smile4: and the faraway sky that reflected in her eyes waited a radiant future and unlimited possibilities.5-6: Good luck!7: Oww, that's hot!

77)1: Alright...I'm gonna become a first-class warrior and make Hana-chan stare at nothing but me!2: Then I'll propose to her, for sure!3: But first I have to deliver this...4: Hm?

78)1(nb): Grrrr...2: Wh...what's with her...?!3: Oh yeah, I remember hearing some rumor about a weird woman that's been appearing around these parts.4: I think they called her "Okyou the Madwoman"...5: Something about her getting raped by a male passerby and going crazy...scroll: *too fuzzy to read6: Ever since then, she's always been standing on the side of the road searching for the man that violated her.

79)no page 79?

80)1: Western medicine might be able to heal the illness in her heart.2: That's why the Restoration is necessary, so rhat we can save unhappy people like her.3: For sure...4: WAS IT YOU?!5: wahhh

81)1: Hyaaaaa2: Help meeee!3: Hey, look...Okyou-chan's chasing another man!4: KIheeeeeeh5: He actually looks like a pretty nice guy...6-8: haa9: I finally shook her off.10(2b): I really must have no luck...I've always been one of those people that bees and dogs seem to go for...

82)1: Still, how pathetic for a samurai like me to run from a woman...2: I was born with a weak constitution, so I have little strength, and no skill with a sword...3: Hm?4: Huh?!5: It's gone!6: The letter is gone!7(2b): I dropped it while I was running!8: Where9: Where did I drop it?10: I have to find it...

83)1: Why did she pick it up...

84)1: I finally got an important job from sensei, and now look...2: I've already crashed and burned...3: Immediately, on my first try.4(2b): No...this is no small thing. That letter...5: could be a secret document capable of overthrowing the Tokugawa government faction. Then what'll I do...6: If it doesn't get there by that time...7: something horrible will happen to you.8: No matter what I do,9: I must get that letter back...10(gibberish)

87)1: I put too much power into it...2: I killed her...3(2b): Wait, that's right...a strong will capable of committing barbaric acts is necessary for the Restoration...

88)1: If you want to see a beautiful view, then drench yourself in mud and sweat...then climb up to the top in a state of filth!2: What I'm going to see isn't this close to me. It's a distant, bright, shining future that holds infinite possibilities!3: We may be able to save Japan!4: Therefore...your sacrifice is necessary for the sake of the Restoration!5: It has to be!

89)1: Mmm, thank you for delivering it.2: Good work...ummm...3: My name is Shouzaburou,4: Yamanouchi-sensei.5: Your face looks very pale, are you alright, Shouzaburou-kun...?6: Compared to the amount of energy that you are using for the sake of our country, sir, my fatigue is laughable...

90)1: Hmm...well then, if you'll excuse me, I will open this and ascertain its contents at once. I have been waiting eagerly to read this for some time.2: Mmm...3: This says...4: Chinpo <3 (Penis)paper: Chinpo(the signature is illegible)

91)1: Buhahahaha! Tou-chan, that nut!2: So THAT'S his counter?!3: I won't lose this time either!4: Po...po...po...5: "Boin" ends in an "n"... (*this is a japanese word game called shiritori, you can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiritori)6(2b): How about "bokki" (erection)? No, that's too easy...bo...bo...bo7: Bo8: "Bo-bo no omanko" (A hairy pussy) 9: OK...I'll go with this!

92)1(2b): Here you go. Take it to Toudou-sensei, alright?2: If it doesn't reach him by tomorrow afternoon...3: something horrible will happen to you!4: Ummm5: And what exactly would that horrible thing be...?6(2b): Those who don't deliver it in time will have to pay the bill the following night at the geisha house!7: Wahahahaha!

93)1: What have I done...2(2b): I killed a person for a stupid perverted game of shiritori...3(2b): It figures, sensei would never entrust a small fry like me with anything important.4: It's my fault for getting too conceited...it's my fault! 5: Hey, Okyou-chan isn't standing out here today...6: I wonder what happened...?

94)1: Maybe something happened?2: It's weird for her not to be out during the daytime...3: Shouzaburou fled in a daze,4: and the next thing he knew, he had reached the Toudou estate.5(2b): Now, having become little more than a common murderer, the only glimmer of hope that remained for Shouzaburou6: was the one and only smile of Hana-chan...7-9: Hana-chan!

95)1: An annn an welcome home, Shouch-uaaan I'm getting fucked by sensei right nooooow ann2: annn just annn wait a minute ann and I'll annn make you some tea ann

96)(same image)

96a)1: Yeaaaaaaaah2: C'mooooon3: rattle4: Forget the faraway.5: I wasn't even seeing what was right beside me...6: The next day-7: Shouzaburou suddenly came into his sensei's room apologizing for quitting his job as a live-in student.

97)1: Oh, you're going to quit...this is pretty sudden.2(small): Youngsters these days...3: Did you have a change of heart or something?4: I'm sure you'll be able to succeed wherever you go, Shou-chan!5: No matter what!6: That's just my opinion, though!!!7: In the end, Shouzaburou's feelings never reached Hana-chan.8: Ahh, I've got to pour sensei some tea now.9: Byyyyyyyyyyye!10(small): Look, look!11: fart

98)1: A criminal cannot go on being a live-in student!2(2b): When I go home, I'm going to have to show my face cleanly to my mother and father and then slit my belly. I'll take responsibility like a samurai should.3: I think I matured a little after this incident.4: And I will never run around pathetically like before.5: Mt. Fuji...it really never loses its beauty. 6: I wish I could have been able to walk the path of Restoration along with sensei...

99)1: I wish I could have seen a more faraway place...2: To think...3: I'd end this close to where I started...

100)1: What?2: You're alive...?3: After that, Shouzaburou ended up living a long life4: Uwaaaaaah5: and was able to see a comparatively distant view.
